Lead the Conversation

The fastest growing population is American-born, multi-ethnic, bi-lingual, Gen Z. They want to work for and buy from organizations with similar values. Can you afford to ignore them?

"Do the Right Thing"  Isn't a Plan

Diversity is a given today- ready or not. It brings new opportunities, challenges, and risks. Equity is a goal. Inclusion is intentional action. Communication is the how of this messy process. Do you have the right strategy and skills to meet expectations? How do you know? Ask us.

About Me

I founded Zena Consulting in 2008, to help leaders develop and reach cultural inclusion goals, through more effective communication.
​
After a general business writing career (ad copy, reports, grants, etc.) I began working with marginalized communities as a family support educator. In the field, I saw a need for specialized messaging to improve cross-cultural OUTREACH. I also learned that organizations are essentially another type of family, including GOVERNMENT.

Clients say I translate complex ideas into simpler yet accurate messaging. They value my ability to identify and articulate nuanced perspectives about DEI. Learn more at HERSTORY.

Inclusion is Different for Every Organization

Individualism is a high priority for many Americans. So, if you ask everyone to bring ‘their whole selves to work‘, are you prepared when customs and beliefs that some find confusing or divisive, show up?

You can't ignore differences that matter or hope they go away. If you focus on common ground, small misunderstandings won't grow into big problems, such as:

  • Under-performing teams
  • Poor employee engagement
  • Slow progress meeting DEI goals
